How to Use the Deep Link Generator on Mobile

Mobile responsive enhancements to the Deep Link Generator tool allow you to easily generate deep links on the go—directly from your phone or tablet. Here's how to get this handy browser bookmarklet to appear on your mobile device.

Setup

First up—what browser do you use on your mobile devices?

If you haven't already, you'll need to install the Deep Link Generator on that same browser on desktop

The process varies a bit by device and browser, but the key takeaway here is this: If the browser you have the deep link generator installed on desktop matches the browser you use on mobile, you're golden! Navigate to your bookmarks in your browser on mobile and you'll see it there. Note that you may need to change cloud settings for your browser on your phone or tablet to ensure that your bookmarks are showing up across your devices.

Example: If you have the DLG installed on Chrome on desktop, you'll be able to access it in Chrome on your phone or tablet as well. Simply navigate to your bookmarks in Chrome on your mobile device or tablet and you'll see a bookmark called "CJ Deep Link". Click this to generate your link! Full steps are outlined below.

Things can get a little trickier with device specific browsers such as Safari i.e. if you have a PC and don't have access to Safari on your computer, you won't be able to place the DLG on Safari to see it show up on mobile. In this case, it may be simpler to use a browser that works across operating systems for the DLG.

 

Once you've confirmed that you have the deep link generator installed on the same browser on desktop that you use on mobile, here's how to generate a deep link on mobile:
